After losing LeBron James to Cleveland Cavaliers this summer, Miami Heat swiftly made their moves to put more people to fill in his shoes by signing up Josh McRoberts, Luol Deng, and Danny Granger, as well as getting back Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade to maintain the team's production.
Heat appears to be much stronger and has a deeper bench compared to the previous season, when they ended up second to San Antonio Spurs after the NBA Finals. Part of the reason why the team lost during the crucial games was due to the weak bench that they had. Because of that, the coaching staff made sure that they have signed up players who have the potential to build a stronger bench this season like Deng and McRoberts. Still, losing James leaves a big dent in the team.
However, the fans are not impressed with these moves, and they are demanding for more line-up revamps, which is not really possible.
Based on the article from the Sun Sentinel, the Heat is not planning to venture into another trading deal until December, unless the trade engages only three members of the team who they can trade before December 15.
"This is getting old by now, but the only players the Heat can put into a trade are Norris Cole, Justin Hamilton and Shabazz Napier, since every veteran free agent signed this offseason cannot be dealt until Dec. 15. So unless you're talking about a player making about $6 million or less, the math doesn't work in a trade. And even then, you would have to find a team willing to take on that three-player package," the article said.
Talks are rife about a Roy Hibbert trade but there seems to be no truth to those speculations.
Other possible additions in the Heat's roster are Chris Singleton, Shawn Marion, Greg Oden, Chris Douglas-Roberts, Jordan Crawford or even Ray Allen.
